The aim of this article is to assess the efficiency of the current international and EU regulatory framework concerning water quality, health promotion, and disease prevention. To this end, starting from the World Health Organization’s (WHO) guiding role in promoting universal, affordable, and sustainable access to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), the paper critically analyses the regional legal instruments adopted to reduce the level of waterborne disease transmission and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, including the 1999 WHO-United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Protocol on Water and Health, and the 2018 EU Commission proposal for modernizing the 20-year old Drinking Water Directive. |
